hi Guys,

i have an issue and i appreciate if somebody can help. i have just bought a cisco 877w for my homenetwrok. i created 4 vlans, two for wireless (inside and guest) and one internal network plus one for the IoT. the configuration is ok and all good. i want to install Security onion to monitor all vlans. i installed SO on my PC as a host in vmworkstation 12.5. i also gave it 5 vnics. one for MGMT and 4 NICS one for each vlan. my PC in in the internal network whic is connected to the 877w physically thorugh a network cable. with the current config, Security onion only monitors the internal vlan of course. i want to be able to monitor all other vlans. any thoughts on this one?

should i create SPAN from all other vlans as source and the internal VLAN as destination? should i route between vlans?

i'm stuck at this stage and i need all the help i can get.

thank you for your support

You will need to either use a SPAN port to mirror all traffic from all vlans to a single port to a single interface (on your SO box) (or mirror each one to a different port/interface, your choice).

Thanks,
Wes

thanks Wes for your reply.

i have tried to SPAN. it works for 10 seconds. then the interface connected from the router to my PC (in which has the SO as a VM) stops responding and internet goes down. then i have to restart the router to be able to get the internet. of course the SPAN was not saved in the config.
